The antibiotic thing makes sense because those cars are there from people trying to desperately escape the zombie apocalypse. They weren't just out for a cruise. I'm sure they had tons of things in their vehicle that they wouldn't have normally been carrying.

I somewhat see what you are saying about the other stuff, but in non way does it lessen my enjoyment of the show.

One thing about Rick - everyone here would normally be making fun of him for being a Deputy Dawg in a redneck southern town, except for a zombie apocalypse happening, so we call him a hero/man of action/yadda

I think Rick is an awesome character and I think the actor does a solid job. Really solid casting job and pretty good writing for the part.

And I have no problem with him going crazy at the farmhouse. His son just got shot and he was supposed to be looking after him. Before that, a little girl went missing after he was watching her. For most of the show he'd been the leader and tried to do soooo much. Now shit is really falling apart underneath him and he's cracking. Remember they flashbacked in the most recent ep and Lori was telling her friend at the schoolyard that Rick is almost too nice of a guy most of the time and it was pissing her off. Well now you can see all the responsibility put on his shoulders and all the pressure of him being a multi-tasker is coming back to haunt him.

Oh and someone last year tried to tell me how the actor who plays Shane would be a good Rick, I said no f'n way.

I used to smoke pot with Johnny Hopkins.

That was ridic

Marlo Stanfield could take lessons in cold-bloodedness from Shane.

Fantastic ending to that episode.

BTW, even though my wife was shaky about it, I've let my 12 year-old son watch this show with me this season. I figured wtf, zombies aren't real after all and I'm not a big believer in the theory that certain tv shows really affect kids much anyway. I think that last scene shook him up a bit though. Funny that a scene that showed what one human is capable of doing to another and not what a zombie can do is what I needed to worry about. That is what made that scene great though.

Sorry if this has been already discussed, but how does the house still have working electricity? Generator? I must have missed the part where this was explained.

Does he watch the gore or turn his head away?

They haven't said but it has been at least a few weeks. Rick was in a coma long enough for society to completely collapse but not so long that he starved to death. Then he was with the group out near the quarry for around a week, they spent a few days at the CDC, a few days traveling from the CDC to their current location.

As soon as Shane came back alone, I knew what had happened, but I was hoping Shane would have at least given the poor bastard a head shot. It's not like the zombies still wouldn't have munched on him, but I'll take one to the dome over shredded to death any day.

It's very interesting seeing the differences between Shane and Carl so far from the comics. It's a totally different take on it, but I like both angles.
